Review in Current allergy and asthma reports, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.

1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The treatment response to each of the three major classes of asthma medications-beta agonists, leukotriene modifiers, and inhaled corticosteroids-demonstrates substantial interindividual variability. Evidence indicates that this variability is mediated, at least in part, by genetic factors. Pharmacogenetics is the study of the role of heritable factors in the response to pharmacologic therapy. The goal of pharmacogenetics is "predictive medicine," whereby a genetic profile, combined with clinical characteristics, can be used to predict response to medications a priori, allowing for maximal therapeutic response while minimizing side effects. In this review, we discuss the rationale behind conducting asthma pharmacogenetics studies, provide an overview of asthma pharmacogenetic phenotypes, and detail the most important results of asthma pharmacogenetics studies conducted to date. Although no specific predictive tests have been developed thus far, the existing studies serve as strong proof of concept of the applicability of pharmacogenetics in the future management of asthma.
